Dear NLDline Friends: You will find a new format to this page. In the past, each new piece of information was immediately added as I received the information. Hopefully, the new headings will help you get around this information more easily. Remember, Newest NLD News is merely the page where new information is posted; often, there are features with more information on the same topic(s) on the left hand side of the home page of NLDline. As always, email NLDline with pertinent information you find. JL

Twin study proposal: If you are the parent of a set of twins and one or both have NLD, and you would be willing to participate in an important research project, please email NLDline with your name, email address, twins' age and information, and I will forward your information to the researcher who will then contact you

RESEARCH PROJECT on NLD is taking place in Boston at Beth Israel Hospital, and they are seeking participants, sixteen years to sixty.

For clarification, Nldline.com is a privately owned website dedicated to providing the most current information about NLD. Although we support the endeavors of the NLDA, NLDline is not the official website for the organization. Material posted for NLDA conferences and other events is done as a professional courtesy. In addition, NLDline's webmistress is a founding member of NLDA, held the board position of vice president, and now sits as a Board Member Emerita.
